Luke Humphries talking to Sky Sports: "I feel good. It [his win at the Belgian Open] was something that I felt was coming. I thought the performances were up to a good standard and it was nice to capture another title on a TV stage.

"You never know what version of Michael [van Gerwen] you're going to get, but I always prepare for the best version and if he reaches that it is always a good game."

Luke Humphries moved back into the top four last week for the first time since the opening night, but the defending champion is still searching for his first nightly win in this season's Premier League.

Humphries did get a win at the weekend, beating Jonny Clayton to land his ninth European Tour trophy at the Belgian Darts Open - maybe that can spark success in Berlin?

"I love this sport, I love being a part of it and winning trophies means the world to me," said Humphries.

“I put myself under pressure in Wieze, but it was really nice to get that winning feeling again.

“When you’re not winning as much, it becomes harder and you feel the nerves, but hopefully I’m going to keep pushing now.”

Wow, you could just feel the relief falling out of Josh Rock after he finally managed to get a win at the eighth time of asking in his debut Premier League Darts season.

There's a lot of pressure on these players when they make the league - everyone's got an opinion on who should be in and out and when a debutant struggles then the critics soon pile on.

And especially after getting whitewashed last week it took some bottle for Rock to gather himself and pull out that performance against the league leader.

It wasn't champagne stuff, just an 89.22 average, but his 42.86% on the doubles was a huge step up from his usual mark, and he had three 180s to Jonny Clayton's zero.

Rock really needed that, and it showed. Hopefully now we'll see the real Josh Rock step forward.

A third maximum for Josh Rock leaves him 69 and after two darts he's left with 32.

He steps back, takes a deep breath and then nails double 16 for his very first Premier League Darts victory!

The Northern Irishman celebrates like he's just won the tournament as he sinks to his knees and is overcome with emotion - before getting a big bear hug from Jonny Clayton.

Jonny Clayton does have the ability to find another gear when his back is against the wall.

Taking out the Big Fish 170 was a bit too much to ask for Josh Rock as Jonny Clayton holds to make it 5-3.

But now Rock has the darts and throwing for the match - how's the nerves?

It is all about focus now for Josh Rock.

He hasn't been in this position once in the Premier League yet.

Josh Rock hits tops, for so long his nemesis, to take out 72 and get to five legs for the very first time this season!

One leg away from his first victory...

A second 180 of the match for Josh Rock sees him pinch the darts from Jonny Clayton as he leaves just 40 with Jonny Clayton too far back and he hits double 10 to go 4-2 ahead.

Now then Josh Rock, can you convert this handy lead?

It is easy for us to sit here and say 'just win your own throw' but that is a lot of pressure when you're winless so far.

Jonny Clayton has an outside chance with 156 but Josh Rock is out in front and he pins tops to move back in front.

Clinical two-dart kill from Rock that one with a treble 18 and double top finishing it off as Rock continues to look a lot more solid.

There's nothing between these two and they're both doing the business on their own throw as Jonny Clayton takes out 84 to level us up again.

Josh Rock misses double 16 for an 84 checkout but Jonny Clayton is out of range so the Northern Irishman can return to finish it off and go 2-1 in front.

This is much better stuff from Rock - his finishing isn't great but his scoring on his own throw is heavy enough to keep Clayton at arm's length.

Josh Rock hits two treble 20s aiming to take out the Big Fish but he misses the bull and Jonny Clayton can walk up and win the leg.

Josh Rock starts with a 180!

He leaves top after a dozen darts but misses three shots at double and Jonny Clayton almost takes out a big one but Rock survives to get the first leg on the board.

That's already beaten last week's tally of zero legs won...

We've done the walk-ons and we're on the oche. Game on!

No wins from seven yet for Josh Rock and tonight he faces the league leader Jonny Clayton so many fancy he has no chance.

This is a short format though and anybody can beat anybody up on that stage and Rock is surely far too talented for this winless run to continue, surely?

Clayton has been ultra consistent this season though and made a final at the weekend so is still in great form.

The only way is up for Rock though at this point after being whitewashed 6-0 by Gerwyn Price last week.

Josh Rock talking to Sky Sports: "We get the opportunity to play in big arenas but not like this.

"If I can win three in a row I've got 15 points and I'm in the top four straight away. It's a big task but I'll just worry about the first one."

Jonny Clayton talking to Sky Sports: "I love this arena, especially when you walk over from the hotel. I've got good fond memories and hopefully I can win tonight.

"We don't have to speak about Josh. He's shown that in his game. He's been unlucky. You can never doubt him. He's very good."
